OH MY GAWWSSHHH!!!

Right okay so I'm looking through the Spring 2010 Ready-to-wear collections....One word....FIIIIIIIIREEEEE!! WOOW no seriously!!


John Galliano
Gareth Pugh
Chanel
Anna Sui
Alexander McQueen
Versace
Alexander Wang
Hussein Chalayan
Givenchy


WOOOOOO it is FIIIIIREEE!! Seriously I'm literally on the edge of my couch, mouth ajar, eyes fixated on these visions of beauty. Usually as a designer you set to out do yourself but WOWZERS! Seriously!


2010 Baby- it's going to be beautiful! Anyone looking at these collections could only assume that they have died and gone to heaven. There is something so bold about these 2010 Ready-to-wear Spring Collections! I see metallics, prints, big hair, shoulder pads, dramatics, colour and the very foundations of masculinity and femininity definition disappear! This year it also appears that designers are trying new things, new concepts, new materials, new techniques- I must say I am very impressed...It's good to see that after all the years of recognition and fame these designers still hold a certain passion in what they do!




Unfortunately I'm back at uni so I won't really have much time to update!
I will definitely take a closer look at these collections and add some more posts. Look...Can you see it? My mouth's watering! I can't wait!

*Givenchy Spring/Summer Campaign*

Yes Yes Yes I SHOULD be asleep but instead I'm on the Dazed and Confused website- definitely worth it since I've come across the new ad campaign for Givenchy's Summer/Spring Collection 2010!!! I'm loving (I mean LOVING) what I've seen so far of this collection, it's so energetic! Not to mention it has one of my favourite male models featured, Simon Nessmann! I'll be completely honest with you...I haven't really paid much attention to Givenchy since the Ready-to-wear Fall Collection 2009 (fetauting one of my favourites, the beautiful Karen Elson) but I will obviously be viewing this collection and telling you what I think! Looking at this campaign has just reminded me of how brilliant Riccardo Tisci is! Always a picture of elegance bordering closely on edge!! You've opened my eyes Mr.Tisci I'll definitely be on a close lookout for you in the near future!

Speaking of models where...I said WHERE the hell has Luke Worrall disappeared to? Okay yes I have noticed him in that Uniqlo Campaign but otherwise I haven't really seen him in as many magazines as I used to, probably has something to do with his engagement to Kelly Osbourne hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...WELL I wish them the best of luck and I hope to see a lot more of him in 2010!


Check out uniqlo (Very nice clothes, if I do say so myself)

PLAN FOR 2010

More posts to follow

Well , a New Year has once again caught me by surprise, seemed like only yesterday I was planning things I was going to accomplish for the year (unfortunately my one resolution- to go the gym failed miserably).

I managed to do some work with Elite Model Management, get another placement and also meet some new faces. This year I want more! I still feel very unfulfilled and uneasy about my lack of creative expression over the year 2009. So for 2010 I'm going to try a different approach to life!!

FIRST

Get to the gym & Eat healtier: No, SERIOUSLY go to the gym!!! My life of Chinese take away, McDonald's and greasey food in general has got to stop. In order to feel better about myself I need to eat better! Being fat ain't pretty!

SECOND

Start visiting more art galleries: Who is entering for the Turner prize this year..........................................THAT'S RIGHT YOU DON'T KNOW, so more gallery visits!

THIRD

SKETCH, SKETCH, SKETCH: I won't improve my drawing skills if I don't practice simple as!! So more portraits more everything--I'll go get some sketch books.

FOUR

Subscribe to Dazed and Confused and Vogue: DAMMIT! this is something I should have done ages ago, this year I'll subscribe.

FIFTH

Get some fashion related work experience: I'm not doing what I want to do at the moment, so I have to make the most of things. I have to learn and experience things if Art/Fashion is where my heart is at.

So these are the goals I would like to achieve by the end 2010, Can't be too ambitious can we! I wish you all the best of luck with your new years resolutions this year!!

This year it's go hard or go home!

*2010- Prints, Pads and McQueen, OH YES!*

***********HAPPY NEW YEARS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!***********

Okay...so I've decided that I can't just keep sitting around and thinking all these things, I need somewhere to write down my thoughts on everything- low and behold the internet. To think I spend so much time on this computer and completely missed the fact that I could start a blog, so here we are, first post here we go....

I've been a constant on the site www.style.com for a while now and couldn't help but fall in absolute and dire LOVE with Alexander McQueen's 2010 ready-to-wear spring collection. What a way to start 2010- bold, vibrant and in complete demand of your attention!! I can definitely see a play on "symmetry" and "balance" which has been incorporated into not only the detailing of the print but also the into the mixture of a warm and a cold palette (See Below).

I can also see that McQueen has put a lot of thought into the silhouettes of his pieces- surely a strong print needs a strong shape. I'm very impressed with the variety of shape his Spring collection has produced, I'm seeing puffed sleeves, I'm seeing shoulder pads, I'm seeing puffed trousers, puffed skirts all in one show and I'm not thinking Oh God! There definitely (in my opinion) appears to be an "android-type" quality to this collection, in the styling and also the accessories- notice how the shoes appear very much like parts of a machine. 2009 was very controversial and exciting for Alexander McQueen it appears as though he's setting the standards for other designers yet again- I'm wishing him the best of luck in 2010 even though we all know he does not need it! He is actually a genius!

Since Lady Gaga's new single "Bad Romance" premièred at this show he's the video (check the McQueen piece at the beginning)
